Help Strengthen ACEI's Voice for Children Worldwide
Odland, Jerry
Childhood Education, v82 n2 p98-B Win 2005
The Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI) is among the oldest professional education organizations in the world and the only international organization of its kind that focuses on the development of the whole child from birth through early adolescence. Given the current sad state of world affairs and the plight of millions of children, many of whom face insurmountable odds because of war and other armed conflicts, disease, malnutrition, various forms of exploitation, abandonment, extreme poverty or homelessness, not to mention other troubling concerns such as child trafficking, child prostitution, child labor, physical abuse, lack of a proper education, and often the absence of love, it is easy to see why the mission of ACEI and the work of other child-centered groups is so necessary and critical. In this article, Jerry Odland, ACEI's executive director strongly urges all members to join their voices with those of thousands of other members to help strengthen ACEI and draw international attention to the plight of children worldwide in the coming year and beyond.
